With looks that are an amalgam of 999 and R1, the V-roehr 1130 superbike from Roehr Motorcycles is claims to be "a new generation of American motorcycle". The thing is after a market jaded but the Hyosung powered Fischer MRX 650, the Roehr sounds true, powered by the Harley-Davidson* Revolution* engine which currently resides in the V-Rod series of bikes. Finally a bike that dares to be all that Buell could be, namely liquid cooled, smooth and relatively powerful.

Powered by the Harley-Davidson* Revolution* engine, the V-roehr combines modern state-of-the-art engine technology with a race track inspired chassis design, resulting in a truly modern American sport bike.
The design goal for the new superbike was simply to produce the fastest, most powerful, and finest handling machine, using the best American engine available.
The Harley-Davidson* Revolution* engine was chosen due to it's superior power potential, modern high tech design and durable construction, allowing reliable high power output potentials.
The engine is housed in a composite CrMo steel and aluminum composite beam frame, consisting of large diameter, internally ribbed steel main beams, bonded and bolted to billet machined aluminum swingarm pivot plates.
This design uses these two materials in areas of the frame in which their material characteristics are best suited, yielding a stiff, light weight structure that provides excellent feedback and rider feel.
This light, compact frame, combined with ideal chassis geometry and mass centralization provides an exceptionally responsive, stable and balanced handling dynamic.
Side mounted radiators provide a forward engine position allowing a suitable wheelbase and ideal weight distribution.
The V-roehr is also equipped with the finest chassis components available. Ohlins suspension, Brembo brakes, Marchesini wheels and beautiful bodywork in aerospace quality carbon- fiber.
Designed and constructed by company founder Walter Roehrich, the V-roehr delivers the power, performance and beauty unmatched by current American sport bikes.
Roehr Motorcycles will also offer a full line of high-performance parts and accessories, with engine kits producing up to 180hp.
Production of the first 50 units is scheduled to begin in 2008, with pricing estimated at $39,995.00 USD.
Escrow deposits to reserve your V-roehr will be accepted starting Aug.1st 2007 for 2008 delivery.

I want 180 hp.
I almost cut my hair, it happened just the other day.
It was gettin' kinda long, I could've said it was in my way.
But I didn't and I wonder why, I feel like letting my freak flag fly
Very cool! $39,999. Ouch!
This bike clearly illustrates what is possible with the V-Rod engine verses the rather mundane path the H-D designers took.
I think these numbers help tell the story...

* Wheelbase: 56 inches / 66.8 inches
* Rake 23.5deg. / 30.0deg
* Dry weight 425lbs. / 618lbs.
your correct, that 425 pounds is the real dealOriginally Posted by FLH-EBAY
You can take this V-Rod motor with some pretty simple mods or maybe a turbo & really build some serious weight to hp ratio.
Some day I'll bring a waterhead home
